I have a Java web application deployed using Tomcat. I want to package the Tomcat ROOT into .WAR file using Maven. Can someone guide me through the process? Thank you

Create a pom.xml file in the ROOT directory with the following code.
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>package</groupId>
<artifactId>artifactid</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<name>project</name>
<packaging>war</packaging>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<webXml>WEB-INF/web.xml</webXml>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
Then execute the following command in the command line mvn:clean install.
The war file will be generated to the target directory.
